Question
Find the sum of the following arithmetic series:
`7 + 10 1/2 + 14 + ....... + 84`
Advertisements
Solution
The given arithmetic series is `7 + 10 1/2 + 14 + ....... + 84`
` Here , a = 7 , d = 10 1/2 - 7 = 21/ 2 - 7 = (21-4)/2 = 7/2 and l = 84.`
Let the given series contains n terms. Then,
an = 84
`⇒ 7 + (n-1) xx 7/2 = 84 [ a_n = a + (n-1) d ]`
` ⇒ 7/2 n + 7/2 = 84`
`⇒ 7/2 n = 84 - 7/2 = 161/2`
`⇒ n = 161/7 = 23`
∴ Required sum`= 23/2 xx (7 + 84) [ s_n = n/2 (a+l) ]`
`=23/2 xx 91`
=`2030/2`
`1046 1/2`

How many two-digit numbers are divisible by 5?
Activity :- Two-digit numbers divisible by 5 are, 10, 15, 20, ......, 95.
Here, d = 5, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
Here, a = 10, d = 5, tn = 95, n = ?
tn = a + (n – 1) `square`
`square` = 10 + (n – 1) × 5
`square` = (n – 1) × 5
`square` = (n – 1)
Therefore n = `square`

Decide whether 301 is term of given sequence 5, 11, 17, 23,.....
Activity :- Here, d = `square`, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
a = 5, d = `square`
Let nth term of this A.P. be 301.
tn = a + (n – 1) `square`
301 = 5 + (n – 1) × `square`
301 = 6n – 1
n = `302/6` = `square`
But n is not positive integer.
Therefore, 301 is `square` the term of sequence 5, 11, 17, 23,......
